Ino: MAHA PRAJNA PARAMITA HEART

All: chant Avalokitesvara doing deep prajna paramita clearly saw empti- ness of all the five conditions, thus completely relieving misfortune and pain. O Shariputra, form is no other than emptiness, emptiness no other than form. Form is exactly emptiness, emptiness exactly form; sensation, conception, discrimination, awareness are likewise like this. O Shariputra, all are forms of emptiness, not born, not destroyed; not stained, not pure, without loss, without gain; so in emptiness there is no form, no sensation, conception, discrimination, awareness, no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; no colour, sound, smell, taste, touch, phenomena; no realm of sight... no realm of consciousness; no ignorance and no end to ignorance… no old age and death, and no end to old age and death; no suffering, no cause of suffering, no extinguishing, no path; no wisdom and no gain. No gain and thus the Bodhisattva lives prajna paramita with no hindrance in the mind, no hindrance therefore no fear, far beyond deluded thoughts; this is nir- vana. All past, present and future Buddhas live prajna paramita and there- fore attain anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Therefore know, prajna paramita is the great , the vivid mantra, the best mantra, the unsurpassable mantra; it completely clears all pain - this is the truth, not a lie. So set forth the prajna paramita mantra, set forth this mantra and say: Gate! gate! paragate! parasamgate! bodhi svaha! prajna heart sutra!
